Description de l'ouvrage :
This book examines a corpus of films and TV series released since the global financial crisis, addressing them as emblematic expressions of our age of precarity. The analysis of the motifs and characters of these case studies is built around notions originating from Mikhail Bakhtin’s literary theory and, in particular, the concept of chronotope, affirming the material and dynamic connection between form and content in artistic experience. This book observes how precarious lives are enacted in forms of spatio-temporal compositions which carry conceptual and ethical challenges for their viewers. This book falls within the film-philosophy framework and, although primarily directed to an academic audience, it provides an interdisciplinary account of the notion of cinematic precarity. It puts the embodied analysis of viewers’ ethical participation in close dialogical relationship with a philosophical and sociological examination of current dynamics of inequality and exclusion.

Revue de Presse :
"This is a book of our times. Terrifying global times, where different intersectional forms of the modern precariat struggle against the sad passions that capitalist structures of domination and extraction transmit their way: anxiety, guilt, depression, exhaustion, isolation, confinement, expulsion, migration, ghettoization, debt and extinction. Against such, Sticchi creates an eye-opening trans-border map of critical media productions that strive to carve out new ethical opportunities and critical openings. Guided by an accessible screen philosophy style, this wide ranging political book explores a complex of media forms from Europe, Asia and the Americas that try to creatively ignite vital impulses during this dark global winter of discontent." (David H. Fleming, Senior Lecturer in Film & Media, University of Stirling)
